The stay was good, staff friendly. Room was good but poor ventilation, small window with opening at top. Due to exceptionally warm weather room could have benefited with a fan to keep cool. Breakfast was good (full english), used the restaurant 1st evening , not a big choice and felt it was a bit over priced.

The location and general atmosphere of the hotel impressed managing to combine the historic feel of a coaching hotel without feeling dated. The condition and facilities all felt modern and well thought out making it a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. We shall return to the Swan next trip.

The decor in my room was lovely, the kettle worked, the iron and the shower hose both leaked when used. There wasn’t any water available in the room, so if you take medication take a bottle you or grab a glass of water available from reception. Breakfast was very nice, with vegetarian and vegan options available too, car park was large and convenient.

Convenient location, with good parking facilities. Although in the town centre, it was a quiet and peaceful stay. Staff were welcoming and friendly, nice to be offered help with luggage on departure. The room was clean and spacious, but could be improved with two small armchairs for relaxing.

Does the hotel have enough staff?

Nice location, the room was comfortable and breakfast was good. Staff helpful and friendly BUT it’s clear that there aren’t enough of them as we had to wait for everything. Check in was slow as the receptionist was dealing with another issue and it seems she had no back up. It was the same at breakfast, there appeared to be only two young staff working the restaurant, there were 7 tables occupied when we placed our order and only one table had food. When we checked out there was another long wait. I certainly don’t blame the staff, I felt very sorry for them. This is a management issue that needs addressing.

Swan Hotel, Stafford

Booked this Hotel for the night whilst attending the Gatehouse Theatre for an event. Theatre was a 5 min max walk away, so very convenient. First time at this Hotel, having used Pub accommodation last time, and this was a step up. Nice large car park at rear, easy access to Hotel reception which was manned. Had pre checked in, so easy check in. Quick wander round Stafford, then back to Hotel for tea, then drinks before pre booked meal, which was delicious, filling and served on time. Room was fine for the night, nothing special but clean, and adequate. We both slept well, and ate a hearty breakfast. Full English was delicious znd again filling. Staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the trip, food excellent. Would recommend.

What we liked was everything including how busy yet how helpful the entire staff were. Great car park, lovely setting. What we did not like was the slightly dated room, the air conditioner did not work. We know we are in a fantastic position but the noise which we know the hotel cannot do anything but the noise from drunk girls screaming outside at the front of the hotel where we were was really annoying.
